Objective: To compare a cohort of symptomatic patients with mild- to moderate (<70%) carotid artery stenosis with those patients with high-grade (≥70%) carotid artery stenosis (symptomatic and asymptomatic) to assess for markers that places them at a higher risk for stroke.
Methods: A propensity score matched cohort study design for all patients who underwent carotid revascularization between 2015 to 2024 was utilized to compare the high-grade (≥70%) symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis groups against the mild to moderate (<70%) symptomatic carotid stenosis group. Matched variables included age, sex, and atrial fibrillation.

Plaque rupture in atherosclerosis (AS) is a major cause of acute cardiovascular events. Macrophage-induced inflammatory responses and accumulation of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) primarily induce unstable plaques. Therefore, targeting ROS clearance and functional modulation of macrophages are clinically crucial for improving plaque stability and inhibiting AS progression.

Background: Taoren Honghua Decoction (THD) is a traditional Chinese formula known for enhancing blood circulation and demonstrating clinical efficacy in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the primary active components and the underlying mechanisms by which THD exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis (AS) remain insufficiently characterized.
Objective: This study aims to systematically validate the protective effects of THD on AS and elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms through an integrative approach involving network pharmacology, in vivo, and in vitro experiments.
